Female Athletes deserve to be supported during their entire career, before and after their pregnancy. The Athletic Female, the full Evolution and the Perinatal Athletes, reunite an incredible panel of worldwide speakers. It covers above and beyond everything related to the assessment and management of the Female Athlete. Besides providing evidenced based information, it also proposes a lot of practical tools I was able to use straight to the clinic or on the field. I strongly recommend enrolling in these courses to anyone working closely with Female Athletes.
